Taverniers, Karin (2003) The Construction of a Multiculturally Changing Self In: Riegler, A. (ed.) Radical Constructivism Paper Collection. Available: http://www.univie.ac.at/constructivism/papers/  23 Jul 2003 The paper first analyzes the notion of the Self throughout the history of Philosophy, Psychology, through Postmodernism. Then it demonstrates how Modernism, with its use of objective analysis, systematic knowledge and scientific language, led up to a far more subjective, changing, fragmented, and multidimensional concept of the Self. Finally it shows to cover how society and culture have changed in the past decades, and how this has had an effect on the formation of one’s Identity or one’s Self. Wilson, B. G. (1997) The Postmodern Paradigm In: C. R. Dills and A. A. Romiszowski (eds) Instructional development paradigms. Englewood Cliffs NJ: Educational Technology Publications  04 Dec 1997 This paper suggests that (1) postmodern perspectives about the world underlie much constructivist writing, and (2) a postmodern stance can offer positive, constructive critiques of instructional design (ID) practice. Botella, Luis Personal Construct Psychology, Constructivism, and Postmodern Thought Unpublished document at the department of Psychology, Ramon Llull University (Barcelona, Spain)  This paper contributes to the ongoing debate concerning the attempt to subsume Kelly’s theory under the notion of constructivism and, at a more superordinate level, to relate constructivism to the notion of postmodern thought.
